I have a 6 gallon one fron Luego in my V8 Viento. I usually do just over 100 miles then fill up. I just spend a lot of time in filling stations.
Mind you, I get to chat to the till girls and other customers. So a small tank has more social aspects than a larger one!

Also mine gives me more boot space.

I dont have a box in my rear section, I just use a cargo net and bungy cords. You can get an awful lot of gear stowed that way. ie tent, bedding etc. Ideal for Stoneleigh etc.

I also did the same as above had one made up locally with baffle plates and vent tubes, works out to approx 58 litres so get a good mileage range, all for the measly sum of £80-gotta b happy with that!!!!!
Was tight to get in position though, I made a plywood mock up one and gaffer taped it together to make sure it would go in.
